I would in all fairness give this item a 4.5 however I settled on 4 stars for one little reason, although it is of good quality and solid and will work for an occasional tightening or loosening of a spoke if you are doing a complete wheel or working with this tool for more than let's say 5 minutes it is not the tool you want it can be a little on the small side and a little bit cumbersome It does not give you very good leverage. If you are using a spoke tool for any length of time or any larger job than just occasional usage I would recommend a different type like a single size larger or wider tool. That said, if you do not know the size of the spoke That said, if you are looking for a spoke ranch and don't know the exact size of your spoke not then this is a good option since it has all the spoke nut sizes. Now that I used it for a gauge and light usage I now know the size I need and will buy a better on. For my application I will need a 10 and a 12 incidentally it's a gauge as the numbers get lower the wrench size gets larger. MarkMannM2

I bought a Trek from the Peddler's Mall for $75. Wheel was wobbly as could be. Took about10 minutes to true is up. It has multiple sizes, so it should work on all types of spokes. Takes a little practice. Grab a permanent marker so you know which spoke you are working on. You have to spin the wheel in between each on to see if you are doing it correctly. The bike is now worth $300.

There were two spoke wrenches at about the same price but this one was obviously better machined (crisp squared off openings to grip the spokes). I'm happy with it.

I read a lot of negative reviews and was hesitant but this one worked nicely for me. Has various sizes. Used number 14 - no idea the mm this is but workes ok.

This is a pretty simple product, and it works.If you only need to work with one size of spoke, there are better tools, notably the ones shaped like this are easier to use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014KITUPS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1BUT, those tools only fit one size of spoke each, so take up more space, tend to get lost. If you work frequently on bikes, get the loop ones. If you work infrequently, get this silver circular one.My favorite way to use it is to mark the size I'm using on the spoke with a sharpie so I can easily find the same slot as I work on that bike. Otherwise, you need to keep reading the numbers.

I bought this spoke tool as a “backup” if the other I ordered didn’t show up. Shipping being jacked up in the times of Covid.So I got this one a few days later after the first one to start the wheel project.Well this one became my go to. The quality is way better then the others sold here on Amazon for a few bucks less.Get this one. The numbers are legible, the knurled edges are well cut, and the tool engages with the spokes perfectly “not like the other one”…..Higher quality and a good add to the toolbox.(Compression photos, the cheaper one on left and this one on the right.) spend a few extra bucks and buy the better one.

Straps pretty easy. Good in a pinch but not for long term use. Super cheap though. Maybe keep as a backup tool.

I have a hybrid bike and it's about 5 years old. I got it at Sports Authority, around $200. Every so often, I'd have to take it to Trek and get the tires trued up. That was at least $20. I think this time, I managed to mess up the tire by clamping it to the bike rack. Anyway, this seemed pretty bad. I figured I'd give it a try to fix it myself since the bike was so old. I watched a few YouTube clips on how to do it and then found the "cheapest" multi tool here. It got here fast and two of the six slots were marked "14" and they fit my spoke "nipples" perfectly. I found the bump using a dry erase marker (you can use a pencil). Then you turn those nipples a very small amount. In my case, the middle one needed a 1/2 turn, the next two out needed a 1/4 turn each in the opposite direction. then an 1/8 on the next two out. This wrench has a knurled edge to give a good grip and it's SOLID metal. I had no trouble tuning up that wheel, and the wrench is small and light enough to go right in the bike bag.I recommend this for a first time tuner. It's a economy tool that just works. It's perfect for keeping your own bike in trim.

This is the cheapest and most useful spoke tool. I replaced my warped stay true wheel that cost 35$ at $66. I noticed I got better spokes for the extra $, but I needed another tool. Wow, luckily the store was out of the park tool. $15 for 1 park spoke tool. This eased my brain on total costs for the bike commuter folly of a warped wheel and in my effort to fix 5 spokes snapped. It's back to true without those 5 but unridable till I replace them for $20 in spokes, $180 for a touring stand, $60 for a dish device and $40 for a tensiometer. So, this was a great help!
